“You’re the savior of the people, you bring tears to my eyes.”
“No no, you saved Europe.”
“My hero.”
“No, you are our hero.”
“I pray for you.”
Heartbreaking between @ZelenskyyUa & a #DDay veteran, who knows the cost. He kisses his hand & won’t let go.

Someone came up to introduce themselves to Tara at dinner tonight like she didn't know who he was.
"Best trade the @49ers ever made. We chatted. Very nice young man 😊"
(And yes, she's still wearing her @Nike jacket.)

I’ve covered Katie since she won gold in the 800 as a little water bug at the 2012 London Olympics. Have never seen a superstar in any sport cheer harder for her teammates. Doesn’t like talking about herself. Would rather praise her opponents, even after tough Olympic races. – at Washington, DC

Unfortunately, it has to be said – slavery wasn't a jobs program that taught beneficial skills. It was literally dehumanizing and subjugated people as property because they lacked any rights or freedoms.

Here’s a corker of a story: a new study has found that grapevines were domesticated on two occasions, in quick succession but in different parts of the world, about 11,000 years ago econ.st/3IOIydl

On Kaya’s trip home, the pilots made special mention of her before we took off - see below.
When we landed, we loaded Kaya onto a cart to take her out, and when we got to the top of the ramp…the entire terminal cheered and clapped for her. If you were one of them: thank you.

I'm not an expert on WWII. Were people in 1943 still discussing what annexed lands Hitler would get to keep as part of a "peace settlement"?

Tonight we light the arch in the honour of Pelé.
His unique talent lit up the game of football, and inspired the world.

Eighty years ago today, one of the most iconic images of the war in the Pacific was captured by chance; George Silk’s photograph of a blinded Australian soldier being led by a barefoot Papuan on Christmas Day 1942. Read article: fal.cn/3uFUo

Can confirm that Stanford is hiring Troy Taylor and he’s expected to be announced at a team meeting today. He was Sacramento State’s head coach and a former Utah OC.

David Shaw resigned as HC at Stanford. In all my years of covering CFB, David Shaw is one of my favorite people. He is class personified. CFB has lost a man of value and ethics at a time when the sport needs it more than ever. I wish David the best on his next venture.
